Hole Eight
Par 3,Stroke Index 6
“An inviting tee shot to a long, but narrow, green heavily guarded by bunkers and a steep slope to the left. There can be as much as two clubs’ difference between a front and back pin position. Favour the right-hand side”.
A great par 3 that simply requires a good shot. The green is very well defended, so there is nowhere good to miss it, but right is better than left.
